I haven't done menus for zdoom yet... thats just how I used to do it for quake. But if that way works and is compatible with the other games and mods that change the menus, then I don't see why not :)

There is no addmenusection in the keyconf on the zdoom wiki.If there has been,we should've added the custom definition into the options menu of the game

Here, have a look at this: http://pastebin.com/f4b3149fb

This isnt my work, but its the sort of thing I mean by a stand alone menu rather than build it within the original zdoom scripts.

This is a good idea,but how we will make the menus themselves with this?Can you make example list options with this?

Personally, I'd say don't bother with a menu. The proper way to do menus is through MENUDEF, but it has its issues of potential conflict with the engine's own menus; you can't add to menus, you can only replace/override them.

Ill whip up something simple later.. But basically it just binds a key to a script that brings up a menu that you can then use the binded page up and page down keys to navigate the menu to select the options to toggle the cvars on and off. I think that code also creates a cursor as well, but well figure that out later. It shouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

Thats why Im thinking just a simple message box with a few options bound to a couple of keys, that way it doesn't even use the main menu. Yea its probably not worth the effort, but it doesn't hurt to try a few things and see how they turn out.

Personally, I would suggest just putting it in an F1 help screen under "Read This!". Yeah, you'll have to define a custom MAPINFO with a GameInfo section, but that's not very complicated, and is something that could easily be rolled into a larger mod.
